Gauge
is Erratic A. 1. 1. Check for insulation
that may have been
pushed into connection. Fix connection. Inspect the connection
between the wire and
the ring connector.
B. 1. 1. Check wires by
connecting one wire
at a time to the
tachometer directly
from the battery or
the signal source on
the engine. Relocate offensive
appliance. Please
refer to installation
instructions. Check for excessive
electrical noise caused
by an electrical
appliance set to close
to the gauge. i.e. a
magnetic compass, a
radio transmission.
C. 1. 1. Check the switch on
the back of the
tachometer. Refer to
chart on the next
page. If the tachometer
reads to high, then
the switch is
selected too low.
2. If the tachometer reads
too low, then the switch is
selected too high.
A reading of Hi or
Low may be the
cause of alternator
pole switch not
selected correctly.

All Suzuki 4-strokes,
